Prior to #13244, connect proxies and gateways could only be configured by an
xDS session served by the local client agent.
In an upcoming release, it will be possible to deploy a Consul service mesh
without client agents. In this model, xDS sessions will be handled by the
servers themselves, which necessitates load-balancing to prevent a single
server from receiving a disproportionate amount of load and becoming
overwhelmed.
This introduces a simple form of load-balancing where Consul will attempt to
achieve an even spread of load (xDS sessions) between all healthy servers.
It does so by implementing a concurrent session limiter (limiter.SessionLimiter)
and adjusting the limit according to autopilot state and proxy service
registrations in the catalog.
If a server is already over capacity (i.e. the session limit is lowered),
Consul will begin draining sessions to rebalance the load. This will result
in the client receiving a `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` status code. It is the client's
responsibility to observe this response and reconnect to a different server.
Users of the gRPC client connection brokered by the
consul-server-connection-manager library will get this for free.
The rate at which Consul will drain sessions to rebalance load is scaled
dynamically based on the number of proxies in the catalog.
http.Transport keeps a pool of connections and should be reused when possible. We instantiate a new http.DefaultTransport for every metrics request, making large numbers of concurrent requests inefficiently spin up new connections instead of reusing open ones.

By adding a SpiffeID for server agents, servers can now request a leaf
certificate from the Connect CA.
This new Spiffe ID has a key property: servers are identified by their
datacenter name and trust domain. All servers that share these
attributes will share a ServerURI.
The aim is to use these certificates to verify the server name of ANY
server in a Consul datacenter.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2489.
This PR introduces a server-local implementation of the
proxycfg.InternalServiceDump interface that sources data from a blocking query
against the server's state store.
For simplicity, it only implements the subset of the Internal.ServiceDump RPC
handler actually used by proxycfg - as such the result type has been changed
to IndexedCheckServiceNodes to avoid confusion.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2460.
Introduces a server-local implementation of the proxycfg.ResolvedServiceConfig
interface that sources data from a blocking query against the server's state
store.
It moves the service config resolution logic into the agent/configentry package
so that it can be used in both the RPC handler and data source.
I've also done a little re-arranging and adding comments to call out data
sources for which there is to be no server-local equivalent.
When a sidecar proxy is registered, a check is automatically added.
Previously, the address this check used was the underlying service's
address instead of the proxy's address, even though the check is testing
if the proxy is up.
This worked in most cases because the proxy ran on the same IP as the
underlying service but it's not guaranteed and so the proper default
address should be the proxy's address.

To ease the transition for users, the original gRPC
port can still operate in a deprecated mode as either
plain-text or TLS mode. This behavior should be removed
in a future release whenever we no longer support this.
The resulting behavior from this commit is:
`ports.grpc > 0 && ports.grpc_tls > 0` spawns both plain-text and tls ports.
`ports.grpc > 0 && grpc.tls == undefined` spawns a single plain-text port.
`ports.grpc > 0 && grpc.tls != undefined` spawns a single tls port (backwards compat mode).
